So you still have this piece of code which makes a kernel using
efi not compatible with kexec. But you are still supporting a physical
call mode for efi. If you are going to do this can we please just
remove the hacks that make the EFI physical call mode early boot only
and just always use that mode. Depending on weird call once functions
like efi_set_virtual_address_map makes me very uncomfortable.
